Chapter Twenty-Five: The Strange Drinker
"Are the bodies buried?
I asked Saren, confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The word burial is not quite exact, the body should be squeezed in!"
Saren said as he stared intently at the shriveled hand.
"What the hell is going on? Just say it! ”
I can't wait for Saren to announce the answer.
"Your words just now inspired me, this trench is indeed too crudely built to be from the hands of the skilled craftsmen of Qingcheng! We are thinking in the wrong direction, and it's all because we have preconceived notions and think everything too simply.
In front of the war-torn ramparts, a deep ditch has appeared, which we would naturally think of as a fortification built by the defenders.
But this zigzag ravine may not really be built by man! Look at the size of this ravine, is it just enough for Qiqi to accommodate? ”
Saren suddenly smiled confidently.
I carefully thought back to the shape of the monkey, and then looked at the serpentine ravine, they actually matched perfectly!
"Did you save them? Why did you do this? ”
I asked Saren very puzzled.
"The Monkey should be the main reason why the invaders didn't enter Qingcheng, as for why did it help the people of Qingcheng? Maybe the Qiqi is the aboriginal here, and Qingcheng is built next to it!
You see, this ravine should surround Qingcheng, and the length of the Qiqi is far from this length. Perhaps at the beginning of the invasion of the city, the Monkey did not live here. When the invaders broke through the city gates and were about to enter the city, they rushed back. ”
"Are you saying that the people of Qingcheng live next to Qiqi? It can't be, right? ”
I interrupted Saren and asked.
"There are no impossible words here! As a terrestrial creature, the size of the Monkey does not conform to biological geometry at all! But as you saw just now, it's alive.
I don't know how many years ago, I should have developed my intelligence, and Qingcheng's background is also quite mysterious, so it should be a good chance that they will coexist together with each other. There will definitely be a deeper connection between them! ”
Saren said categorically.
"Let's go back and have a look! If Zhou Lu and Wang XII come back and find that we haven't arrived yet, they may go out to look for us again! ”
Our feet were covered with corpses squeezed into the dirt, and I would rather stay in the restaurant where the drinker was called.
Saren was still staring at the ravine, seemingly thinking quickly, but there was no reason for her to refuse my suggestion. Despite some reluctance, she returned to Sunny City with me.
Soon we returned to the drinkers again, and as I had prayed, Zhou Lu and Wang XII were already waiting for us in the house, and with them were Ah Le, while the chairman and the elder Li did not appear with them.
"Are you alright? Why did it take so long to arrive? ”
When Zhou Lu saw the two of us returning, he immediately got up and asked with concern, and the three of them happened to be sitting in the seats where Saren and I were sitting just now.
"The two of us have already arrived, why did you go just now, Saren and I have just been out for ten minutes!"
When I saw them again, I was in a good mood, after all, one more person has more strength, and there is also the ability of Wang Twelve.
"What? You mean, you two were here ten minutes ago, then you went out for another ten minutes, and now you're back, right? ”
Wang Twelve said with a strange expression.
"Yes, Saren and I got here half an hour ago when we saw the bullets left behind by Zhoulu. Then we sat in the place where the three of you were sitting for about twenty minutes, and when we saw that you had not returned, we went to the city gate, and in ten minutes, that is, now, we were back! ”
I really don't understand, what's so strange about this.
"What?"
This time all three of them stood up and said with fear on their faces!
"Don't worry! What's going on? Something to say slowly. ”
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Saren immediately said soothingly.
"The three of us arrived in Qingcheng forty-five minutes ago. But we all thought that this sunny city was too strange, so we wanted to visit the city.
After thinking that the drinker was a good place to connect, I left a bullet at the door, and we went into town, but we had not gone far enough to think that it might be dangerous to go in further, so we went back the way we came, which took no more than fifteen minutes.
Inexplicably, you arrived at the drinker half an hour ago, so we should meet at the drinker's door! But we're sitting here, and somehow you're sitting here! We sat in the same seat for almost twenty minutes! Who did not see any of them! ”
Zhou Lu's voice was getting lower and lower, he himself seemed to be in a state of extreme fear, and I was already covered in goosebumps!
"Is it this bullet?"
Saren took out the bullet he had picked up earlier and showed it in front of Zhou Lu, who nodded to confirm that the bullet was placed by him.
"Get out there and have a look!"
With that, Saren walked out of the room, and the group of us followed Saren to the place where the bullets were placed.
"That's where I picked up the bullet."
Saren said noncommittally.
Zhou Lu repeatedly inspected the surroundings, and he surveyed every detail.
"That's where I put the bullet, and when we came back and saw that the bullet was gone, we thought you had been here, and we took the bullet and went out to look for us. We didn't go out again, we waited for you here. ”
Zhou Lu rubbed his temples and said, everything that happened just now was too weird.
"Could it be that my watch is broken, I bought this Rolex for 200 yuan, and it is too normal for a mechanical watch to be inaccurate! My performance was 4:44 p.m.! ”
I looked at the watch on my wrist and said! Now, there is no plausible explanation other than the possibility that we are inaccurate in terms of length of time! When I saw the moment of 4:44, I was also panicked, and I had some natural fear of the number four.
"Four-forty-four!"
Everyone else was wearing the same mechanical watch, and they looked at it and said in unison.
"Grass, go in and have a look!"
After a moment of silence, King XII cursed, and he returned to the drinker's house in hatred.
We also went back with him to see if there were any hidden clues here.
"Let's take a closer look, could it be two of the same drinkers?"
Zhou Lu returned to his usual calmness.
I tried my best to recall everything from the first time I entered the drinker, and all the details I could remember were exactly the same as the things in front of me, and we even checked the second floor, but everyone remembered the drinker exactly the same as the drinker in front of us!
